make entrez_search() use POST (and some minor typo fixes) #164

This fixes #163.

It causes entrez_search() to use HTTP POST instead of GET for all calls. This doesn't appear to have a downside, and all tests passed. I did not simply force all requests to go through POST since I assumed that there was a reason for only testing the ids argument and using GET for some calls.
